I always hated to admit it when I need help and somehow figure a way to do whatever LOL  Right now I do need help , but it has to be help that doesn't have a lot of self pity and feelings for others. It seems with some people you are always on the defensive about your cancer. This is 200% wrong and I hope I find someone with the power of thought. Each day it takes more time to get to feel half normal.  I hope your dad is doing his best now and giving you and your mom a break.  Have a great day,   Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan.  I averaged  about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there.  w  Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame.
